Sketch 2017

The impressive 2017 Sketch is vibrant, chiseled, precise and delineated, with great inner strength and a soil-like, mineral, almost salty sensation on the palate. It reminds me of the 2015, more mineral and sharper, with all that it takes for a long and positive evolution in bottle. It feels like one of the finest vintages for Sketch. This is sold without any appellation of origin. 2,000 bottles produced.

This wine conveys its sea-facing landscape through saline and iodine aromas. The palate shows restrained yet precise fruit, with a slight spiciness and a nutty touch from 12 months in oak. Appetising, with a lingering saline flavour, it has a style all of its own, honouring the genius of Raúl Pérez.
